We can't argue with Hugh Herr, a double amputee, who says that he's no disable. For one, he's a professional climber. Secondly, when he walks using prosthetics he created himself, you really won't be able to tell from his gait. Hugh Herr currently directs the Biomechatronics research group at MIT Media Lab. We owe him the first intelligent prosthetics, employing bionics that make them work like real body parts. His company, iWalk, has helped veterans, amputees, and stroke victims get their life back. Envisioning a world where disability doesn't exist, it's safe to call him a visionary. To read more about Hugh Herr visit www.thextraordinary.org
